CALENDAR:
The Senate will return on Monday and stay in session through Thursday, while the House will
return Tuesday and stay in session through Friday.

THIS WEEK IN THE HOUSE:

The House will come back into session on Tuesday, with the first votes set for 6:30 PM. At that
time, the House is scheduled to consider 27 bills under Suspension of the Rules.

On Wednesday, the House will consider one bill under Suspension of the Rules.

On Thursday and Friday, the House will consider three bills – H.R. 2499, the Federal Firefighters
Fairness Act of 2022; H.R. 903, the Rights for the TSA Workforce Act of 2022; and H.R. 5129, the
Community Services Block Grant Modernization Act of 2022.

In addition, at some point during the week, the House will also take up a resolution recognizing
congressional workers’ right to organize into unions.

LAST WEEK IN THE SENATE:

The Senate came back to work on Monday, and voted to invoke cloture on the nomination of
Joshua Frost to be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.

On Tuesday, the Senate voted to confirm him to that position. Then the Senate voted to invoke
cloture on, and then to confirm, the nomination of Elizabeth de Leon Bhargava to be an
Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Then the Senate took up S.J.Res. 39, a
Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval of the rule submitted by the Department of
Health and Human Services relating to “Vaccine and Mask Requirements To Mitigate the
Spread of COVID-19 in Head Start Programs.” That Interim Final Rule “requires effective upon
publication, universal masking for all individuals over two years of age and older, with some
noted exceptions, and all Head Start staff, contractors whose activities involve contact with or
providing direct services to children and families, and volunteers working in classrooms or
directly with children to be vaccinated for COVID-19 by January 31, 2022.” The resolution of
disapproval passed the Senate by a vote of 55-41, with Democrats Catherine Cortez Masto of
NV, Mark Kelly of AZ, Joe Manchin of WV, Jon Ossoff of GA, Jackie Rosen of NV, Kyrsten Sinema
of AZ, and Jon Tester of MT crossing party lines to vote with the Republicans.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the Senate engaged in a mini-Vote-a-Rama of sorts, as it

THIS WEEK IN THE SENATE:

The Senate will come back to work on Monday, with the first votes set for 5:30 PM. At that
time, the Senate will proceed to a roll call vote on cloture on the nomination of Ann Claire
Phillips to be Administrator of the Maritime Administration.

Then, based on the Majority Leader’s cloture filings, I anticipate the Senate will take up the
nomination of Asmeret Asefaw Berhe to be Director of the Office of Science at the Department
of Energy.

On Monday, Majority Leader Schumer will file cloture on S. 4132, the so-called Women’s Health
Protection Act. That’s a bill that codifies the language of the Roe v. Wade ruling into federal
law. The cloture motion will ripen on Wednesday, and the Senate will vote on it then.

The last time the Senate voted on the Women’s Health Protection Act, on February 28, the
motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed failed, by a vote of 46-48, with three
Republicans and three Democrats not voting, and one Democrat – Joe Manchin of WV –
crossing party lines to vote with the Republicans, while all the Republicans who voted –
including Susan Collins of ME and Lisa Murkowski of AK -- voting against cloture. I have no
reason to believe the outcome of Wednesday's vote will be significantly different.
“INSURRECTION” DISQUALIFICATION:
Ever since the Capitol riot on January 6 of last year, leftwing extremists have been trying to use
that event as a pretext to disqualify certain Republican members of the House of
Representatives from running for election, on the grounds that they violated the strictures of
Section Three of the 14th Amendment, which reads: “No person shall be a Senator or
Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil
or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath,
as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State
legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the
United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or
comfort to the enemies thereof.”

They have focused their efforts on four Republican members of the House – Georgia’s Marjorie
Taylor Greene, North Carolina’s Madison Cawthorn, and Arizona’s Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar.

A North Carolina judge blocked the attempt to kick Cawthorn off the ballot in March. A
Maricopa County Superior Court judge dismissed the complaints against Biggs and Gosar last
month, saying the plaintiffs did not have standing for their legal challenge.

On Friday, Georgia State Administrative Law Judge Charles Beaudrot ruled that Greene could
run for reelection, rejecting arguments from a group of five Georgia voters who said she had
engaged in insurrection. The final decision will be made by Georgia Secretary of State Brad
Raffensberger.

IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL:

On Wednesday, the Senate took a bipartisan shot at the Biden Administration’s attempt to
revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. During that mini-Vote-a-Rama I spoke of earlier, the Senate
took up a Motion To Instruct Conferees that was authored by Oklahoma Republican Sen. James
Lankford that said any nuclear agreement with Iran must also address Iran’s support for
terrorism, and that the United States should leave in place its sanctions against the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The vote on that Motion To Instruct was 62-33.

This was the first time that the 117th Congress has gone on record with a recorded vote related
to the possibility of a revived nuclear deal with Iran, and it demonstrates pretty clearly that the
Senate does not want such a deal to be simply a revival of the 2015 deal. This Senate wants any
deal with Iran to address Iran’s support for terrorism – a subject area that was left out of the
2015 deal – and this Senate wants to keep the IRGC designated as a Foreign Terrorist
Organization, because it is one.

That last point, about maintaining the IRGC’s designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization,
has become the key sticking point preventing the conclusion of negotiations on the deal.
According to Politico, the 27-page agreement is “virtually ready to go,” but Iran is adamant that
the U.S. Government remove the terrorist designation from the IRGC, and will not agree to sign
the document and come back inside the terms of the revived deal until and unless the IRGC is
removed from that list. Given that the U.S. Government is aware that former Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo is on a “hit list” sanctioned by the IRGC, the U.S. Government refuses to do so.

RUSSIA AND UKRAINE:

On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called on the 27-nation
group to ban oil imports from Russia and said Russia’s largest bank should be disconnected
from the SWIFT bank payment system. Speaking to the European Parliament in Strasbourg,
France, con der Leyen urged the member nations to ween themselves off imports of crude oil
within six months and said they should cut off imports of refined products by the end of the
year.

In recent weeks, U.S. intelligence shared with Ukrainian military forces has been used to target
Russian generals on the front lines and the Moskva, the flagship of the Russian Black Sea fleet.
How do we know that? Because U.S. sources have leaked that information to the media.

Whenever we read stories that could only have appeared as the result of a leak, we’re left
asking ourselves – was that leak approved by decision-makers as part of a larger strategy, or
was it leaked for lesser reasons by someone who wasn’t following the plan? That is, there are
times when we want to help AND we want to be KNOWN as having helped, and then there are
other times when we want to help but we would prefer to remain silent about that help.

As the Russian war on Ukraine has evolved over the last several weeks, so has the nature of the
assistance we’ve provided Ukraine. At first, U.S. policymakers apparently believed it would not
take Russia long to break Ukraine’s will to resist, and, consequently, the assistance we gave to
Ukraine seemed to be just enough to ward off complaints that we weren’t doing anything to
help, but not enough to actually help the Ukrainians win. Then the Ukrainians refused to
capitulate, and began to impress Western intelligence and military forces, and the nature of the
assistance we gave them changed. We began to give them more significant assistance, and they
began to put it to better use.

It turns out the leaks to the media about the extent of the help we’ve given Ukraine have not
been planned. At least, that’s what the Biden Administration national security team wants us to
believe. And how do we know? Because they’ve leaked to their favorite reporters and
columnists the “news” that President Biden is unhappy with the leaks about the help we’ve
given Ukraine. Biden, we are told, is concerned that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin may not
take kindly to being forced to read about his military’s humiliation at the hands of the
Ukrainians, working with help from America. Biden is said to be fearful that if it begins too
much like the U.S. is viewing this engagement as a proxy war, Putin might decide to escalate
against U.S. targets.

THE LEAK OF THE DOBBS DRAFT RULING:

On Monday evening, Politico reported that, based on a February 10 draft ruling, a majority of
the members of the Supreme Court were prepared to overturn the 49-year-old Roe v. Wade
decision that struck down state laws prohibiting abortion. This was an unprecedented act. Since
the Supreme Court issued its first opinion in 1791, no draft ruling had ever leaked before the
final decision was handed down.

There’s a lot to unpack here. I’ve got several observations.

First, let’s be absolutely clear on one thing right up front – if the Roe ruling is overturned, that
does NOT mean that abortion is automatically outlawed throughout the land. Oddly, though it
is the case that the Roe ruling made abortion legal throughout the land, it is NOT the case that
striking down that ruling translates into outlawing abortion on a nationwide basis. That’s
because when Roe was originally issued, many states had already passed laws making abortion
legal.

If the Roe ruling is overturned, then we would return the question of abortion legislation to the
states and, more specifically, to the state legislatures, where the people’s elected
representatives will make determinations as to what they believe the law should be in their
states. In other words, the democratic process, which is where this matter should have been
decided for the last half-century.

Some states are going to outlaw abortion entirely. Other states are going to outlaw the
outlawing of abortion, and leave even late-term abortion legal. And many states are going to
find ways to leave abortion legal, but greatly restricted.

Second, the reaction of the leadership of the two parties to news of the leaked draft ruling was
decidedly different – while leaders of both parties claimed to be outraged, they said they were
outraged for very different reasons. Democrats said they were outraged at the prospect of
having that 49-year-old ruling overturned; Republicans said they were outraged at the fact that
someone had leaked a draft ruling in what most Republicans believed was an attempt by a
supporter of abortion to pressure one of the five justices to change his or her mind and vote
instead to keep Roe in place.

Were Democrat leaders really outraged? I’m not convinced. Based on their actions, it’s at least
arguable that they were merely feigning outrage, and that in fact, they were secretly overjoyed
at the prospect of having an issue, ANY issue, they could use to whip up their party’s base in
anticipation of the upcoming midterm elections.

Republican leaders, on the other hand, certainly seemed to be deeply upset by the leak. They
know that the simple fact that a draft ruling leaked once means that it’ll be easier to leak a
second draft ruling, and then a third. It doesn’t require a genius IQ to be able to see how a loss
of trust among the members of the Supreme Court could damage the Court’s ability to do its
job.

The Framers of the Constitution wanted very much for the third branch of government – the
judiciary – to be independent from political considerations. That’s why federal judges do not
run for election, and that’s why they serve an unlimited life term of office, only leaving office on
death, resignation, or impeachment. They are deliberately meant to be insulated from political
considerations, so they can focus on making the right legal decisions.
The leak has already had an effect on our politics. Within days of the leak, a new activist group
on the left, calling itself “Ruth Sent Us,” after the departed liberal icon, Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, announced it was going to host protests at the homes of the six Republican-
appointed justices in an attempt to pressure them. This happens to be a federal crime. It’s a
form of obstruction of justice. 18 U.S. Code 1507 makes it a federal crime to picket or parade
near a justice’s home “with the intent of influencing any judge … in the discharge of his duty.”

Oddly, I didn’t hear anything about anyone getting arrested for these protests.

Of course, they weren’t the only ones breaking the law. The leaker himself or herself broke the
law. Contrary to what you may have heard on MSNBC, that because a draft Supreme Court
ruling is not classified information, there was no crime committed by the leaker, the truth is
different. Writes former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andy McCarthy in National Review, “The theft,
embezzlement, or conversation to one’s own private use of government records is a crime,
regardless of whether the information is classified.” Further, he explains, “The corrupt act of
leaking a draft opinion with the patent intent to intimidate the justices and influence the
outcome of the proceeding is an obstruction of justice.”

Now, let’s talk a moment about the intent of the leaker. The only thing that makes sense, in
terms of motivation, is that the leaker was seeking to influence the outcome of the ruling. The
question is, was the leaker a pro-Roe activist trying to sway one of the five justices ready to
overturn Roe and bring that justice back into the pro-Roe fold, or was the leaker an anti-Roe
activist fearful one of the five justices was looking wobbly, and the leak was intended to “lock
in” all five votes?

I find the latter possibility ludicrous. As we’ve witnessed in Supreme Court confirmation battles
for the last 35 years, going back to the Bork nomination fight in 1987, one side has shown that
it is wiling to break all norms in pursuit of its agenda. One side is willing to slander judicial
nominees, one side is willing to accuse nominees it opposes of the most heinous crimes, one
side is willing to upend tradition, and only one side. And it’s not the conservative side.

The leak of this document could only have come from someone on the left, someone so
committed to a radical judicial agenda that he or she was willing to destroy the Supreme
Court’s independence in order to maintain in place what even legal scholars on the left consider
a terrible ruling.

Chief Justice Roberts immediately ordered the Marshall of the Supreme Court to initiate an
investigation into the source of the leak. This is not a job for the FBI, or even for the Capitol
Police. Those two law enforcement authorities work for different branches of the government,
and I think it highly unlikely that the leader of the judicial branch is going to allow police who
work for the executive or the Congress to conduct an investigation that may require checking
email and phone records of individuals who work for the Supreme Court. He may at some point
ask for help, but if that happens, I’m quite sure it would happen only under the strictest
scrutiny possible.
So what will be the political effect of the leak? Well, one of two things is true – either the
Supreme Court will release a final ruling in this case that hews to the draft, and overturns Roe v.
Wade, or it will not. In terms of the political effect, leaking a draft opinion six or seven weeks
before the final ruling would have been released doesn’t really change much, as long as that
draft opinion doesn’t change before it becomes the final opinion. Those who think the world
will come to an end if Roe is overturned will still think that, they’ll just start thinking that six or
seven weeks earlier than they would have otherwise.

There’s more to discuss – for instance, how this leak of the draft ruling has energized
congressional Democrats’ efforts to pack the Court. We’ll save that discussion for next week.
